Sydney Bar Week – Sydney CBD

Cocktail nerds of Sydney, rejoice! After 10 years of being trade-only, Sydney Bar Weekwill be open to the public this year – meaning that you, my sazerac-obsessed friend, will be able to take part in cocktail workshops, browse exotic liqueurs and take part in spirit tastings.

There’s a lot on, from learning why vodka isn’t tasteless (although I still think it’s a sin to use it in a martini) to how to make a Mai Tai, although my personal tip would be to go to the tequila tasting hosted by Phil Bayley, who runs Café Pacifico – quite frankly, what that man doesn’t know about tequila isn’t worth knowing.
